Daryle Singletary

Daryle Bruce Singletary (March 10, 1971 – February 12, 2018)[1] was an American country music singer.

In the same timespan, Singletary entered the Top 40 of the Hot Country Songs charts five times, reaching No.

[1] His father, Roger Singletary,[2] was a postal worker, while his mother, Anita,[2] was a hair dresser.

One of the demos that Singletary sang was "An Old Pair of Shoes", which Randy Travis eventually recorded.

The lead-off single, "I'm Living Up to Her Low Expectations", spent one week in the Top 40 on the Billboard country charts, peaking at No. 39.

2 hit that year, the album's other two tracks — "The Used to Be's" and "Even the Wind" — both fell short of Top 40, peaking at number 48 and 68 respectively.

Ain't It the Truth, his third and final album for Giant, produced a minor hit in "The Note", which peaked at No.

Despite this song's minor crossover success, however, this album also saw its second and third singles miss the Top 40, and Singletary was dropped from Giant's roster.

Both "That's Why I Sing This Way" and a cover of Conway Twitty's "I'd Love to Lay You Down" were released from this album, respectively reaching No.

Although the label announced that the song's proceeds were to benefit his family, a representative of the singer stated that no such fund existed, and that the recording was a demo that was never meant to be released.
